Topicality of Kantorovich's economic model

Proceeding from his discovery of linear programming Leonid Kantorovich developed its applications to optimization on the macroeconomic level. The universal value of his model for all socio-political systems was recognized by leading representatives of western economic science. Though Kantorovich created his macromodel specifically for the centrally planned system, it was not accepted by the Soviet leadership. The paper considers the conditions under which that macromodel could be successfully used in the mixed economic system of Russia.
